While 1993's "Alien Justice" was the previous Nexus mini-series, "Magnus Robot Fighter / Nexus," "Hammer of God: Pentathlon," "Mezz: Galactic Tour 2494" and "Hammer of God: Butch" were all published during the two year hiatus.

"Nexus Meets Madman" was published the month before "Executioner's Song" began. While it's not included in the overall numbering, many themes from "Wages of Sin" and "Executioner's Song" are continued in the one-shot.
